I'm not the biggest stickler for details, but when it comes to drawing, when you take the time to think about the lines that you're making, a little bit goes a long way. So here I have a hat connecting to a head, but instead of just doing a square corner, envision that hat, that hat wrapping around the head. It's just this little extra detail. It gives the shape, it gives the character a little bit more volume. And it makes these lines look a little bit more realistic when, you know, this is just lines on paper that is forming some alligator.
